This is interesting and kind of silly, maybe even funny to some, but mostly sad in my opinion.

I am from African American and Native American bloodline with a little bit percentage of European mixture. I am not a dark skinned black. I am medium to light brown depending on the weather. During the summer I may get tanned a bit to a medium brown, but during the winter season my natural light brown color returns back to normal.

What I found strange is that amongst a few people within my lifetime I’ve come across those in particular who thought or assumed that my face may had been irritated, or that I was putting something on it just because my complexion was red in its appearance.

And I thought to myself, “Why? Just because I am a black person I cannot naturally turn red? It has to be considered a skin problem or a reaction to something that I may have done cosmetically?

A lady even once thought that I had applied a substance to my skin just because it was greasy due to the natural sometimes excessive oils and shine of my skin.

White people and people of a high yellow and light complexion are not the only ones to turn red.

I turn red sometimes when it is cold outside, my face and body turn red after washing with hot water, and sometimes during hormonal changes due to the menstrual cycle my skin turns sensitive and will turn red after washing my face with soap and remain that color through out the rest of the day. No big deal to me!

Beauty and health is in the eye of the beholder. I’ve always been very attractive and I have always had a pretty brown complexion that would heal and rejuvenate rather quickly. During my teenage years up until now I’d notice how rapidly my new skin cells would develop sometimes leaving my facial skin flaky and peeling which is a good thing as it is a natural process by the body to shed off old cells.

The flaking and peeling never lasts too long and happens here and there with me, and sometimes at a more rapid rate than normal. In return, there may be some dark patches of scales that result from the desquamation.

I have oily skin so I naturally repair with moisture and a youthful appearance. I love the way my skin is yet some ignorant people may assume or mistake a normal process from the body as a skin disorder.

If I had a normal discoloration or a mild temporary dark spot it was automatically assumed that it was from an eruption when in actuality my skin had never broken out at all. The only time I may get an eruption is during the menstrual cycle and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

What manifests on the skin can have a lot to do with what is going on within the inside of the body as well as on the outside; many diseases and medical conditions are detected in that fashion with further evaluation.

Particular medications that people are on and that they take may also trigger an outwardly affect on their skin or extremities.

I never wore any type of make up and/or used any type of chemical facial beauty aids; I stay pure and original in every mode and form as I believe in the natural benefits, effects, and rewards of nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.

Aside from lack of knowledge, sometimes it is also a jealousy.

Some people like to pick and poke at other people to see if they can get a reaction out of them to cause them to have a complex and insecurity because they themselves have and suffer from a low self esteem and they do not have the self confidence that they so mostly envy in others.

They often put, and try to put their own hang ups and insecurities on certain other people and sometimes it does work on specific people depending on whether or not the individuals are weak-minded enough to fall for and to believe in the nonsense and the deceptive games .

Education is very important, and that is learned by one’s own experience and knowledge-in whatever and however manner that may be-which contributes to personal wisdom. It is sad how individuals get swayed by unreason and misdirected through trivial pursuits.

I had got curious and conducted one search on the internet regarding anyone who may had inquired about the “turning red” issue and came across a few, I copied and posted one below. It is not at all to me a heavy subject or anything serious to bring into attention but it is something to take into consideration and to keep in mind as a little food for thought.

Do black people blush or turn red?

I’m black and i blush
and if i scratch it dosent take long for that area to turn noticeable red
im not that light skinned
i was just wondering it other black or brown people blush because i was always told they don’t, well they do you just can’t see it.
and i know i’m not the only one

So as my associate and I went on with our talking and speaking about the specific and various topics regarding social issues, the world, and life altogether, we came upon the subject of how the male and female roles within our society are generally often bias.

The girl who’s name was Tiani stated “It all starts within the home”.

And though she did have a significant point as many do live what they grow up within and around I had another point of view to infer.

“Everybody who lived in my home either smoked or drank. My aunt and uncle did hard drugs. I never did any of those things”, I told her, imparting how society itself can lend a hand and also play a big part of the influencing when it came to the personal or psychological development within some people, and what may entice their perspectives and behavior.

“Well, everybody isn’t as strong as you are”, Tiani had told me back in return.

I never at all thought back then that in not being affected by the things that were going on around me had anything to do with strength. I hadn’t analyzed the concept or even gave it much thought because my mind did not think like the average human being.

To me, things of that nature seemed beneath the tides of strength because in my opinion I could not have even imagined being tempted do to something that I deemed as either disgusting, having no basis, or as serving no purpose.

My mother had verified though that not easily being influenced and not doing certain things that are considered unnecessary and negative to one’s state of existence indeed had to do with being strong within the mind.

I understand that smoking is a habit “to” and that it comes as a habit “for” a lot of people. A very nasty habit that appears to be very hard for many to conquer and to overcome. I do not at all personally knock anyone who likes to smoke or who just cannot help from smoking due to the addictive and hazardous effects of the nicotine as well as the tar (the toxic chemicals) and the other unhealthy additives.

Yet cigarette smoking is something that I hate to be around and something that I do not understand. To me it is such a silly act (inhaling then exhaling repulsive garbage and fumes) that contributes to the spoiling and to the ruining of one’s body, health, and well-being.

My grandmother was an alcoholic and a smoker and died from a form of lung cancer because her lifestyle made her vulnerable to the evils and negative energies and backlashes that were able to snuff out her life.

Comments

I don’t smoke or drink but know smoking brings fluid collection in the lungs as well as nicotine dependency and poisoning of the body as a whole. Not to mention the smell on clothes smoking breaks, changes in voice etc. Not my cup of tea.Goodluck about going up in smoke….

Your associate may have been right about it “starting in the home”. How we are brought up and what is going on in a childs home has a great deal to do with how they grow up, what they like and do not like and what they will and will not do later in life.

True to a certain extent, It all depends on how easily influenced a person is. I still say that it all depends on the individual since I personally always had a very strong mind of my own with my own personal perspective and train of thought. I never copied or adopted any type of lifestyle, habit, and mentality purely just by observing what I saw in others, grew up around, or lived with. Circumstances do sometimes make us what we are but also gives us the opportunity to learn by, analyze, discover, and grow from. To each his or her own and I do know that for a fact.

In response to my last post: The issue has been resolved with the changes to my internet service, and rather quickly I may add. Everything is working great now and my access to the internet resumed without any further interruptions.

Forgive me if I have not gotten back to any of you right away or within a specific time to elaborate whatever questions, information, or subject matter in much more detail or at all for that matter. I currently am in the process of changing my internet services and I have not been able to reach the internet as often since as of earlier this week. I am communicating from the library right now, however, I am not going anywhere. Latoya will always be here as long as I can help it. I just do not know exactly when my services will resume, so if you do not hear from me I am not gone and I have not took a missing I am just inconvenienced at this time. Keep on corresponding, I am reading and will get back to you all eventually.

Palm & Card Reading

“Doris” Dorothy Johnson in her younger days (Tiffany’s mother) on the left dressed in the yellow jacket and black stripe red pants out in the woods doing her so called spiritual work or so called automatic writing (she can’t even spell).

I’ve dealt with Doris years ago (And like I’ve said before she had a little power but nowhere near as great as mine as she had to work with others, and tried to steal my strong positive spiritual energy but failed along with a few other things that backfired in her face) and I have spoke to her daughter Veronica over the phone (neither one are too or very accurate-big liars also, however, I have never had any communication with Tiffany yet she is just as worse and pathetic in her scams.

They try and pretend to be more than what they are and what they definitely are not.

I wrote a letter to the police departmnt about tiffany, I will not get in trouble because its a business I went in she stood inside the first day and watched the camera I think she has voice camera so she hear everything. MRS TIFFANY JJOHNSON IS A MONEY SATAN she steals from innocent ppl that goes in for help she stole 8000.00 total its like going to the doctor they say they can help you u then u pay money and u die afterward tiffany just charms u into thinking that you have so many problems so your scared that something will happen. She made me think I had alot of problems she needed my money for materials I was told that I will get it back in a week ? where is all these ppl money? what she did with the money? buy a new chevy? give her husbund more burgerking? he sits on his #$%$ and he know excatly what #$%$ his wife does. she never liked me because she knew that I was telling my friend what kind of person she was we were like begars by her door step she called sickness upon her kids, shes s not home, and that babysitter knows everything. tiffany sees you atleast two time enough time to take all your money and after that she sens u text tells u to soak in oil, wear white clothes, light black candles etc.my poor friend thinks it actually working. TIFFANY JOHNSON IF YOU DARE TO REPLY TO THIS LETTER I WILL GIVE YOU THE ADDRESS TO WHERE YOU SHOULD BE SENDING BACK THE 8000.00 OK. because I will make your life crzy for what u did last year with my friend.

She has been scamming people for a while now and has stolen up to thousands and thousands of dollars from hard working confused people.

White magic is not good nor is it part of christiananity. do not give her ur money especially with our a sworn written agreement of receipt. Tiffany has given that business a bad name and one day will get caught in fact i will try my hardest to bring this to legal terms. if you have fallen for her scams please comment back to me we will take legal actions.
